Mespelbrunn, a photo from Bayern, West

Photographer's Note

Castle Mespelbrunn in Bavaria

The moated castle of Mespelbrunn is one of the beauty spots of the Spessart forest south-east of Frankfurt.

The first precursor of Mespelbrunn Castle was a simple house. The owner was Hamann Echter, vizedom of Aschaffenburg, a title which means that he was the representant of the ruler the prince elector archbishop of Mainz Johann II of Nassau at the castle and town of Aschaffenburg. On May 1, 1412, the prince elector bestowed the „Place to the Espelborn" to Echter, who constructed a house without fortifications in the valley close to a pond. The Echter family originates from the Odenwald region. Their name presumably means "der die Acht vollstreckt", the executor of the ostracism. These times, the Spessart was a wild and unexploited virgin forest, used for hideout by bandits and Hussites, who spoiled the regions nearby. Therefore in 1427 Hamann Echter, the son of the first owner, began to rebuild his father's house to a fortified castle with walls, towers and a moat, therefore using the nearby pond. Wikipedia

Hello Velera,

A simple but elegant photograph of the reflections. You have some lovely images in your gallery. I plan to keep track of the photos you post. I am glad you did not invert this photo, and presented it the way the eye would see it.

Warm regards from Virginia, USA.

photoray (13981) 2010-03-10 17:09

Hello Velera,

I like the emphasis on the mirror water relflection, rather than trying to capture the entire building. Very nicely composed and detailed.

good job,
Ray
